Between 2010 and 2015, total spending on food is expected to increase over 20 percent. With over 50 percent of the population concentrated within a 60 mile radius of the capital city of Seoul, that region accounts for over 70 percent of the retail spending in the country. Despite the limited volume of domestic agriculture, Koreans favor locally grown and manufactured foods and are willing to pay a premium for domestic goods. A wide variety of agricultural products are grown or processed locally, including rice, fresh and processed vegetables, fruits, seafood and meats, eggs, dairy products, noodles, sauces, oils, grain "our, beverages, snacks, confections, and liquor. Unlike other sectors of the Korean economy, there is not a focus on exporting in Korean agriculture, and, in general, government policies favor domestic agriculture.
